10 Mega-Effective Pool Exercises For A Total Body Workout

After a certain age your body starts to change, and you can’t handle a rough workout every day. And if exercises were part of your life, you have to stay in shape somehow.

If you are among those who wake up every morning stiffed and with a lot of sores, you should definitely try the following pool exercises to tone your muscles and get rid of any pain.

These pool exercises are the best routine you can introduce in your life to get rid of any muscle soreness, and to avoid the crowded gym.

As a grandmother, I can tell you the best low impact workout someone can do is in the water. But these types of workouts aren’t just for grandmothers…my grandchildren and daughter-in-law, are a big fan of my pool exercises.

So, grab your family and friends and try the following pool workouts…or try it yourself while you’re in holyday.

Hang your legs on the edge of the pool and dip your upper body into the water (you can keep your head out). Squeeze your core and crunch up to your knees so that your upper body is almost parallel with your thighs.

Swim from one end of the pool to the other while kicking your legs in such a motion that you almost resemble a frog. This way of moving through the water is highly effective for thighs, and we all want them toned for shorts season!

Hold onto the edge of the pool with one hand keeping the other in the water to help you balance. Then straighten out your legs and quickly do small kicks without bending your knees. Want to take it up a notch? Try removing your hand from the side and solely use your arms and kicks to keep you afloat.
